My usual goal is always to get what Palitoy MOC I can find to complete character run and add any miscards to my collection that I can. Managed a few Palitoy in 2018, including one that completed a character run - Leia Bespin No miscards this year sadly. For 2019 it would be nice to complete a few mo...

For me it was initially finding and reading non-stop the Heir to the Empire book in 1992. That re-awoke my obsession/passion for Star Wars - and luckily I had kept al my childhood toys.

This is or that is the holy grail of star wars collectors etc... Bull! who is anyone to tell me what the...

Knew nothing about him until I got Sansweets book in 94. Didn't see one until 99 when I went to my first collectors show in Cheshunt.
